about

Make a Little Room
(Words & Music by John DeLore)

Featuring Kara Suzanne

lyrics

You visit the grave of the one you have lost.
Yes you know how it feels to be blue.
But you lay every night in the arms of an angel
So you know how it feels to be born anew.

You make a little room for the sorrow.
You make up your mind to be free.
You throw every coin in your pocket
Into a bottomless sea.

But don’t turn a back on your devils
Or your angels will all fly away.
And if you must burn any bridges
Don’t turn a back on the flames.

Once I marched with an army of beautiful souls
But the darkness has taken them one and all
I awoke in Illinois broken but joyful
There were children running up and down the hall

So I made a little room for the sorrow.
And I made up my mind to be free.
I threw every coin in my pocket
Into a bottomless sea.

But don’t turn a back on your devils
Or your angels will all fly away.
And if you must burn any bridges
Don’t turn a back on the flames.

We are dancing tonight many fools by the fire
With the smoke rising up to the Milky Way
The bottle’s coming round pour a little on the ground
For the ones that you lost along the way.

Then we’ll make a little room for the music
Let it call up an old memory
We’ll throw every coin in our pockets
Into a bottomless sea.

But don’t turn a back on your devils
Or your angels will all fly away.
And if you must burn any bridges
Don’t turn a back on the flames.
